Micah 7
1 Woe, woe is me, for I have become like a field after harvest, like a vineyard after gathering; not a cluster of grapes to eat, not a fig that anyone desires.
Kai teh ka yawthoe. Kompawi tue nah khi e thaibunglung paw hoi rakhun e misur paw kacawie patetlah ka o. Ca hane kawi misur paw awm hoeh. Thaibunglung paw aluepaw hah ka doun toe.
2 The honest have perished from the land, of the upright among people there is none. All of them lie in wait to shed blood. They hunt one another with the net.
Cathutlae naw kahmakata awh toe. Tami kalan buet touh hai awm hoeh. Tami pueng teh tami thei hanlah a pawp awh toe. Buet touh hoi buet touh tangkam dawk a ka man awh.
3 Their hands know well how to do evil, the officer and judge demands a bribe, the high official decides as he pleases and they conspire to pervert justice.
Yonnae sak hanelah coungkacoe lah ao awh. Bawinaw ni poehno a hei awh. Lawkcengkungnaw ni tadawngnae a ca awh. Ayâ hlak kalen e tami ni teh hounlounnae a kamnue sak. Hottelah, a kâsanu nahanlah a sak awh.
4 The best of them are like a thorn thicket, their most upright like a prickly hedge. The day of their punishment has come, now will be their confusion!
Tami kahawipoung hai pâkhingkung patetlah doeh ao. Tami kalan poung hai pâkhing takha hlak a ru. Nang ramvengnaw ni kâhruetcuet poenae hnin, nang rektapnae na poenae hnin lah a pha, hothateh, lungpuennae lah ao han.
5 Do not trust your neighbour, do not rely on a friend. From the wife who lies in your arms guard your tongue.
Na imri yuem hanh. Lam ka patue e hah kâuep hanh. Na lungtabue dawk ka ip e na yu hah yuem hanh. Na kâko takhang hah cakuep lawih.
6 For son insults father, daughter rises up against mother, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law, a man’s enemies are the people of his own household.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ca ni a na pa e min a mathoe sak. Canu ni a manu thoseh, a langa ni a mani thoseh, a taran han. Ma e imthungkhunaw teh mae taran lah ao han.
7 But I will look to the Lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me!
Hatei, kai teh BAWIPA ka ngaihawi han. Ka rungngangnae Cathut hah ka kângue han. Cathut ni ka lawk a thai han.
8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy. If I have fallen, I will rise. If I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
Ka taran nang, kaie lathueng vah kâoupnae, lunghawinae tawn hanh. Ka rawm nakunghai bout kathâw han. A hmonae koe ka tahung nakunghai, Cathut teh kaie angnae lah ao han.
9 The anger of the Lord I will bear, for against him have I sinned – until he champions my cause and gives judgment for me. He will bring me into to the light, I will see his justice.
Kai teh BAWIPA koe ka yon dawkvah, na racing hoehnahlan totouh a lungkhueknae ka khang han. Kai hah angnae koe na rasa vaiteh, lannae hmuen na poe e hah ka hmu han.
10 So my enemy will see, and shame will cover them, they who said, ‘Where is the Lord your God?’ I will look upon them, they will be trampled on like mud in the street!
Na Cathut nâne ao telah na ka pacei e ka taran ni hote hno a hmu torei teh yeirai a po han. Ahni koe ka lung a roum han. Ahni teh lam dawk e tangdong coungroe e patetlah ao han.
11 It is a day for rebuilding your walls, this day will your boundary will be extended.
Nange khopui rapan saknae tueng a pha han. Kâtawnnae apout han.
12 This day they will come to you, from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Hatnae tueng dawk, Assiria ram hoi Izip khopui hai thoseh, Izip ram hoi tuipui rahak hai thoseh, tuipui tengpam, monnaw tangkuem koehoi hai thoseh, nang koevah a tho awh han.
13 Though the land has become a desolation because of its inhabitants, because of their deeds.
Hottelah, ao hoehnahlan khoca ramca naw e yonnae kecu dawk ram teh tami kingkadi lah ao han.
14 Shepherd your flock with your staff, the flock that belong to you, who live alone in the forest, in the midst of meadows; so that they may pasture in Bashon and Gilead as in the days of old,
BAWIPA e tami tie a huiko awm laipalah Karmel mon dawk kaawm e râw tuhu hah tukhoumnae sonron hoi khoum la, ayan e patetlah Bashan ram hoi Gilead ram dawk pawngpa sak haw.
15 as in the days when you came from Egypt, gave us wonders to see.
Izip ram hoi na tâconae hnin dawk na hmu e patetlah kângairu hnonaw bout na patue han.
16 Nations will see and be ashamed of all their might; they will put their hands to their mouth, their ears will become deaf,
Miphunnaw ni ka taminaw dawk kaawm e bahu a hmu awh teh, lungpuen laihoi amamae pahni hah kut hoi a tabuem awh vaiteh a hnâtâdeng awh han.
17 they will lick the dust like snakes, like creatures that crawl on the earth; they will come trembling and in terror from their hiding places, in dread and fear.
Tahrun patetlah vaiphu a palem teh, tangraet patetlah a khu dawk hoi pâyaw laihoi a tâco awh han. Maimae BAWIPA Cathut hai thoseh, nang hai thoseh a taki awh han.
18 Who is a God like you, forgiving iniquity and passing by the rebellion of the remnant of your people? He does not retain his anger forever, but is one who delights in mercy.
Yon dawk hoi hlout sak e, kacawie râw, taminaw e sakpayon e hah ka ngaithoum e, pahrennae hoi ka kawi ni teh lung pou ka khuek hoeh e Cathut patetlah apimaw kaawm.
19 He will tread under foot our iniquity; you will cast into the depths of the sea all our iniquities.
BAWIPA ni maimanaw hah bout na pahren teh, maimae yonnae pueng hah rep a coungroe han. Maimae yonnae pueng kadung poung e tuipui dawk koung a tâkhawng han.
20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and loving kindness to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old.
Ayan hoi mintoenaw koe thoe na bo e patetlah, Jakop koe lawkkatanag, Abraham koe pahren lungmanae teh na poe han.
